Recorded sources
6 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that gold is a chemical element?

Yes. An encyclopedia entry and two workbook excerpts state outright that gold is a chemical element, and a periodic-table reference places gold in Group IB. Several other sources treat gold as an element in composition analyses.
